Andy Hunter was at the Johan Cruyff Arena tonight, and his report has landed. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!
Jurgen Klopp gives BT his verdict. “We had a tough half an hour where Ajax made a lot of pressure and did really well. We needed to defend with a lot of passion. But that is fine, it’s an away game in the Champions League. That’s what can happen. You have to get through these phases. Then we scored a goal that was exceptional, and after that a situation which probably explains Bobby Firmino in a nutshell! He passed that ball and I think Darwin was surprised as well! But it was a great situation. Two-nil would have been great, but we had a good start to the second half, two wonderful goals, and controlled the game from then on. Darwin had a really good game in both directions, played with a big heart, and hopefully we took him off early enough!”
